So, my first day back at school was relatively painless. The kids were good, as they always are after a break. And, all of them acted as if they were glad to see me, which is a bonus! And, I received a letter stating I got an interview from our committee on teaching excellence. Not a bad day, eh?
It consistently boggles my mind how good days can have low spots right smack dab in the middle. Today that happened to me.
Over the past 2 weeks I've been through my own little nightmare with my car ordeal. To most people, it's not a big deal. Car wrecks happen all the time. Well, for me, this was my first. And, I have had moments in the midst of all this where I've shed tears, and today was one of them. I had to go tonight and get my car tags off and take out all my personal belongings, as they are totaling out my car. I was okay until the plates came off. 7 years in that car, I had paid it all off by myself. No parental unit, all on my own. And, I liked that car a lot. I went car shopping tonight, and it was too overwhelming to me. I didn't plan on any of this happening, it just did. It boggles my mind. This wasn't a person, it was a car. I'll get over it, I always do. It just sort of bummed me out. And, thank God, tomorrow is a new day. As a good friend of mine says, "and life, continues...."

What?! It wasn't a person? I thought I raised you better than that...of COURSE our cars are people! How could you ever believe otherwise? tee hee hee.
Some don't understand it..but it is a kind of grieving all it's own. I feel your pain, sistah. Keep your chin up! Lemme know if you need to break in your new car with a road trip to Texas. :)
